Subject:      Is this a jack part?

The PO for this 84 Westy didn't lose any of the supplied accessories and
tools. There is one item that I can't quite figure out though. Found it
under the rear mattress.

I could use some help identifying it. It may not actually be a
VW-supplied part.

It is a steel rod/tube, about 22'' long. One end is solid bar stock,
about 5/8'' diameter, with knurling on 4'' of its length.  This bar is
inserted -- permanently, I think -- into a steel tube, with an outside
diameter of about 7/8''. There's a funny little key cutaway in the tube
where the rod is inserted. The other end of the tube has a notch cut in it.

Looks functional, like it means business.
